Parrot is ALPHA software under development. Parrot is not ready for end users.
Requirements
Parrot requires a current GNU/Linux system, such as Debian Stable.
Download
The current version of Parrot can be downloaded here:
Releases are also available on this server:
Run
It is an AppImage, so it needs to be make executable, then run:
chmod +x Parrot.AppImage
./Parrot.AppImage
Notice
At present, not all parts of Parrot are ready.
Main components:
- IDE (text/code editor).
- IDE AI extension.
- AI extension server.
- AI inference engine server.
- AI model.
- Search server.
What nominally works:
- IDE (text/code editor).
- IDE AI extension.
- AI extension server.
What is missing:
- AI inference engine server.
- AI model.
- Search server.
AI Server
Parrot is missing the AI server. It can be made to work, by running your own AI server and model. That would require, in sum:
- Find a libre model.
- git clone llama.cpp
- Build llama.cpp.
- Run llama.cpp server.
Running the server like this, with GGUF model (see: TheBloke).
cd llama.cpp/build
./bin/server -c 4096 --host 127.0.0.1 -t 16 mymodel.gguf
For GPU, add perhaps overkill, like:
--n-gpu-layers 1024
